My First Fidget Toy

prusaprinters

<p>Hey everyone! &nbsp;I'm fairly new to 3D printing (just purchased a Mini+ in April) and I love fidget toys. &nbsp;I decided to learn how to design my own fidget toys and this is my first attempt using Shapr3D. &nbsp;While this model doesn't really do anything, it's fun to play with and may inspire others designs that require a telescoping type of motion. &nbsp;</p><p>When I started designing fidget toys, I had a few goals in mind: &nbsp;</p><ol><li>The model has to print in place.</li><li>The model has to move in a unique way.</li><li>The model has to print in approximately 3 hours or less.</li><li>Looking to improve my skills using my design software (Shapr3D)</li><li>Most importantly, the model has to be fun to play with. &nbsp;It's a fidget toy!</li></ol><p>The file prints in place with no issues. &nbsp;The print in the photos was printed using Prusament's legendary orange PETG at 0.15 mm (Quality) setting on a Prusa Mini+. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Once printed, &nbsp;you can use the hex nut at the top to break the three pieces apart. &nbsp;Turn counterclockwise to get the centre piece out. &nbsp;Turn clockwise to get the middle piece out. &nbsp;After you separate the pieces, just move the pieces in and out until they move &nbsp;smoothly.&nbsp;</p><p>Please let me know if you have any suggestions for a practical use or further improvements. &nbsp;My goal is to have fun!!</p>
